T-Mobile will slash fees for data and texting in more than 100
countries beginning October 31, making it less expensive for
business
travelers to keep in touch at home when traveling or working
abroad.

The wireless carrier announced plans on Wednesday to eliminate
what are commonly known as roaming rates and begin offering
international travelers a flat rate for calls.

"The cost of staying connected across borders is completely
crazy," John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile US, said in a
written statement. "Today's phones are designed to work around
the world, but we're forced to pay insanely inflated
international connectivity fees to actually use them. You can't
leave the country without coming home to bill shock. So we're
making the world your network -- at no extra cost."

T-Mobile individual and business customers enrolled in the
company’s Simple Choice plan will receive unlimited data and
texting in more than 100 Simple Global countries. Customers
traveling abroad will pay a global flat rate of 20 cents per
minute for voice calls.
